This verse is from the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 35. It is written in Sanskrit and translates to English as follows:
śhrī bhagavān uvācha
asanśhayaṁ mahā-bāho mano durnigrahaṁ chalam
abhyāsena tu kaunteya vairāgyeṇa cha gṛihyate || 35 ||
English translation:
"O mighty-armed one (Arjuna), no doubt it is very difficult to control the mind because it is extremely fickle and unstable. But, it can be controlled by practice and renunciation."
Explanation in detail:
The natural tendency of the mind is fickle and unstable. It is constantly wandering in various thoughts, desires and emotions. Therefore it seems very difficult to control it. But Sri Krishna says that through practice (meditation, sadhana) and detachment (non-attachment to worldly things and illusions) It is possible to control the mind.
- Abhyas: Concentrating and practicing meditation on your mind regularly.
- Vairagya: Giving up worldly desires and focusing on the soul and the divine.
This shloka simplifies the process of controlling the mind and attaining enlightenment. And explains in practical terms.
